One was made with chestnuts, the other one with cornmeal. I really felt well there.

Sometimes other girls would come, but he always wanted me to stay there.

But my poor sister had to sleep in huts and sheds the whole time, wherever she could.

At first I asked why they asked me to do this or that,

Battle-name; first activities as a dispatch-rider
-
As for myself, I was a dispatch-carrier.
-
I would always move around, from Reggio to Secchio.
-
My parents often asked me to go to the mountains, so some boys eventually told me:
-
“If you go to the mountains, you could take us there with you”.
-
Every now and then I would take some of them first to one place, then to another, until they would join a partisan unit.
-
I would often go to Don Carlo, who was also a partisan, and would leave these boys with him.
-
Then there were the Davoli brothers. Kiss was the commander of the dispatch-carriers.
-
He was from Reggio, and he was the landlord of the house where my mother was born.
-
Then one day he told my mother he had to go to the mountains.
-
He told her he would come to our house and then from there he would head uphill, so my mother replied that I could take him.
-
He came from a family with money, lots of it.
-
We went to the mountains together and then he reached the Central Headquarters.
